Can you use locked phone service on an unlocked phone? Like can I use T-mobile contract service with my phone or is it now strictly unlocked companies

SIM modules are always locked to a company either through a contract or a pay as you go. If the phone is unlocked you can plug a SIM from any company, the only thing to take care is the size of the SIM.Take into account that not all phones work on all networks, while voice service use to work for all companies since they use to be multifrequency, data services are different, T-mobile and AT&T; have different standards to the others.

I have no idea, but my guess is ..no! I purchased a sim card and simply topped it up with credit.

Yes you can. I have page plus. It works fine. Though, as a warning, as with all phones, used mostly, there is a possibility that there may be an issue. Some phones (my mother's for example, was "locked" and the phone was useless.) The seller did send a new one right away. He paid for the postage. Some used phones it does not matter what brand, or certain carriers Verizon for example, and you cannot use them. SIM card phones such as T-mobile phones are NOT locked since everything comes off of the SIM card. (I used to be a T-mobile employee) Stay in contact with the seller, ask questions about the device you are buying IF you decide to go used. Just wanted to give you a warning, in case you did not know. But yes you can use it on prepaid.

Hello, and thank you for your interest! However, this phone is LOCKED to the AT&T; Network, therefore it will not currently work on the T-Mobile Network. We hope this helps!

Yes and no. I ordered this phone thinking it was unlocked and I could start using it on straight talk. When I got the phone I put the sum card and and the phone was locked. The seller said that it was unlocked for tmobile only. That's not the definition of unlocked in my dictionary but I went online to cellunlocker.net and paid another $30 but I got the code and it worked. Now it works just fine on straight talk. So yes it will work but you will have to get an unlock code for it.

It is possible to use att sim card if it's unlocked. Even if the phone shows t-mobile logo on start up seller might unlocked it before selling it to you. However t-mobile and att use different bands and LTE data might not work, as well as coverage might be not that great as it would be with att phone.

Mine was locked in to T-Mobile. I do have an AT&T; phone that has the AT&T; logo on it but I had it unlocked and now I can use anything on it. I looked at the web page again an it does specify T-Mobile so I would think you would have to unlock it to use it with someone else.

Yes, you can. T-Mobile is currently my carrier. I beleive that this phone can be used for all GSM carriers.

An unlocked phone, is a phone that will let you use any sim card on it. Like any company, net10, h2o, simple mobile, t mobile, at&t;, sprint, etc........ So just get any sim card you want on any company and it work fine

This phone can be used on T-Mobile because it is unlocked, but you won't get 4G or 3G data speeds. If you need fast internet capability on your phone get the T-Mobile version which will be locked to T-Mobile network.

You would have to ask the seller specifically, but from my experience, when it says t mobile in the description, the phone is only for t mobile and not other carriers. Generally, a seller will say a phone is unlocked in the description.

I have T-Mobile and have had no problems with any of the phones I've bought that was unlocked. They have activated everyone of them. I will tell you this phone is not a smartphone. I bought 2 for my 2 young sons and they didn't like them.

The phone is sold exclusively for AT&T;, although I liked the phone and purchased an un-locked phone to use it as a T-Mobile customer. Find the plan you like whether it's Tmobile or at&t; and purchase an unlocked phone. You will be happy with both your plan and your phone.
